Texas Shooting: Will tighter gun control follow?

- On a quiet Tuesday in a small rural town an 18-year-old armed with an automatic rifle burst into a primary school in Texas and barricaded himself in a classroom full of nine and ten-year-olds.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
By the time he was shot dead by police he had killed 19 children and two teachers.
It is the worst school shooting in the United States since 26 people were killed in Sandy Hook a decade ago.
And this massacre has, like 10 years ago, sparked calls for tighter gun controls. Our Washington Correspondent Siobhan Kennedy is in Texas.

What is wrong with someone hoping that “Things “ might change???
@Israel Hands mom Amie , I don’t speak French.would you be so kind and Translate that for me.Or am I going to have to look it up for myself? Thanks
@Israel Hands 🤔😂😂.mon amie, I can pay you with love,Thanks
I normally hate school here in the uk, but things like this make me glad I dont have to go to school in fear of being shot dead in my classroom.
You’re more likely to be beaten to death in the US than you are to die from all rifles and shotguns combined
Exactly mate! America is fu#cked! They should ban firearms
@@MarkyMark2177 im not taking that chance
Not just that but I remember when I was in year 1 and doing the fire alarm practice (testing it and trying to get you out fast as possible etc) and being scared of the sound and blocking my ears. Never mind having to do the same thing for school shootings like Americans do it’s insane, they just go in the same loop over and over.
I live in the UK now, but grew up in America and went to school right when the school shootings started happening. We used to have bomb drills (they didn't call them that, but used a code name that everyone knew) for when bomb threats were called in, and we had security guards, and the day after one school shooting where a couple kids pulled a fire alarm and their buddies outside shot at the kids coming out of school some genius at my school pulled the fire alarm thinking it was funny. Now I have a kid of my own and I can't imagine any existence where I would want to educate him in America.
My wife suggested we move to America.
I said no, Guns. This was 15 years ago. I am so thankful we live in the Uk.
An overreaction and a gross oversimplification.
@@ezioauditore3128 not really.
@@ezioauditore3128 No it’s not and it’s people like you that prevent actual change from happening because you don’t think there’s a problem. No other western country at present has a serious problem with gun violence that isn’t related to gang activity BUT the US. ESPECIALLY in schools like wtf? Even countries that have legalised guns do not have a major issue with mass shooting. You lot need to wake up
@Israel Hands ok you do that
@@annmendes1361 "You lot" lol. I live in the UK and am NOT American. But even I can use logic and reason despite that. Firstly, gang violence is a major problem in the U.S so we agree. In fact it's the biggest killer of young black men - usually killed by other black men using handguns which account for the largest number of gun killings in the US - by a substantial margin. Secondly, you fail to address my central point - that only the law abiding would give up their weapons if the 2nd amendment was removed and that would lead to absolute carnage. I'd love to year 'you lot' come up with a solution instead of screeching.
this is heartbreaking. I cant imagine what the parents, friends and families are going through. My deepest condolences to all those affected.

Andy why is it heartbreaking ? Were you there or something ,because you hear a story and you automatically believe everything that's stated ,come on ,all these Schools where shootings have allegedly taken place ,?it's like every single School has had random shootings ,but eh? Tell the public their are Children involved and they'll just fall for it ? Do not believe and trust all you hear in the news ? It is dangerous ? Question everything ,do not just talke it as red ???

It needs to. I was born in HK where guns are banned. There were no “0” cases of gun shooting at schools. There however were a case where a mentally illed person walked into an elementary school with a knife back in 1986, and made the headline. Same problem but with completely different outcome due to 1 thing- gun control.

Yeah it must be true because the news outlets and crying in front of the cameras because the Authorities have told you it's happened ,but we weren't there were we ,more shootings ,it seems their children are grabbing a gun every week and shooting at random ,it's rubbish , !?

sorry... but I find it very hard to sympathize with a country that loves it's guns more than it's children.
Not quite. They love children, but mostly those who are not born yet.

It's not about guns or race or political ideology. It's about mental illness.
....says Americans.
Suicide rates are high in Japan. Would you say its due to easy access of ropes and highrise buildings?
I'm an American and it's NOT about mental illness, video games, trench coats, bullies, music, etc. These are racists, terrorists, hate crimes.
There are over 30 million people who have an IQ of 83 0r less who cannot be inducted into the armed forces and given a gun but none of these people Are prevented by law from buying a gun for themselves. Start there. Militias are in place bring in permits.
dude you are walking with mask because you belived in false pandemy. You have no right to speak about mental illness xddd
well you would have to be suffering from some kind of crazy psychosis to do that,
It's a vicious cycle with Americans feeling unsafe without guns to protect themselves from other people with guns and their own distrust in government if they unarmed themselves. I'm glad my kids are in Australia.
Its Britain's fault anyway...Britain tried to take their arms from them in the 1770s....
Your kids are imprisoned slaves in australia
Um, no. The vast majority of Americans feel perfectly fine without guns and even the responsible gun owners are tired of this and want change. The issue is a small but influential group that is shockingly well funded that keeps getting in the way of trying to do anything.
Given how Australians were treated by their government during Covid I am not so sure Australia is that good for kids either.
@@mattsmith1859
What small but influential group?
I can’t imagine the fear of American parents sending their children to school. School should be a safe haven for children this is heartbreaking

Happened in Scotland in 1996 and we have strict gun laws here. Can happen anywhere but nowhere more so than America, these yanks love their guns.
@@SG-xy6hf Well the UK has ridiculous laws. My girlfriend cant even carry a bottle of pepper spray for self defense. 99% of gun owners in America are responsible. It is unfortunate that the bad ones are so evil.
@@MarkyMark2177 lol. I am laughing out loud at you, your view is that absurd. My argument is not needed… “arm everyone”
@@MarkyMark2177 🙄 that's got to be the most American (non)solution to your gun problem. You actually think kids are dying because you have TOO FEW armed individuals rather than too many??
The mental gymnastics and bypassing of logic just to protect your precious guns is astounding.
In Europe, not only are there far fewer guns in circulation but also far fewer 18-year olds who can drive...
@Betty Baden It was a birthday present? I don't know.
It’s illegal for any individual to hold guns or weapons in Taiwan. Born and having been living in Taiwan for 20+ years, I can confidently say that banning gun is absolutely a right decision without a doubt. Never give up on the right path. My best wish for all to be safe.
Come back and tell us when China invades and you will regret that you didn't have that AR15 to protect you from China.

When will the US get rid of the second amendment?
Every time there been a mess shooting nothing really change
As sad as this is, just is just an endless loop. We’ll mourn now but in a few years time we’ll see another story just like this.
A few years? There have been 30 school shootings so far this year alone.
A few years? There’s been three mass shootings in 10 days
More like in a week time
Be sooner than that. This is America
A few years? More like a few hours
The answer so far has been "more guns"
Indeed.
Armed teachers and a security team at the schools would deter shooters.
I can hear you liberals clutching at your pearls…
My gun saved me from being jumped by 8 people. You’re more likely to die here from being beaten to death than from a rifle
Which will work.
lol right ! i mean ... we live in an era where computer can calculate with maybe's instead of 1's and 0's but the idea that everyone owning an AR-15 and the monthly school shooting are related is ..... soooooo ...... haaaaaaard.... foooor.... theee ..... brain..... toooooo ..... process ..... error.
Straw man
Can I just answer the question in the title:
No.
This is really depressing. Children shouldn't have to go through this.
Who can point a gun at a child and pull the trigger, no words for that
A mad idiot who is enabled by stupid laws to be able to buy one.
The US has had over 200 mass shootings this year alone. We have a population of 68 million in Britain and mass shootings are rare, the first and last school shooting we had was in 1996 in Dunblane. 16 children and one teacher were dead with at least 17 others injured. It was a major issue and an investigation was started by parliament. In December 1997 the House of Commons voted by a wide margin for Labour Party legislation to effectively ban all handguns, over 160,000 were handed in. Lots of people still own guns in Britain but mainly for sport and hunting and they abide by strict rules on licensing, storage and usage. America's problem is how highly the second amendment is regarded and the gun lobby, but hopefully they go down the same route as us.
There are more guns than Americans here, neither side is willing to step over that line, I don't believe they would if 6 Jan was more violent than it was.
@@walterblock5082 Yea I think read around 1.2 guns per American. It won't be easy to get around the second amendment and gun lobby. But no one has to give up their guns, they just have to follow sticker rules to keep their licence (including not handling or carrying in public) which is key to reversing the gun culture. No one says it's going to be easy, but either fight for that or continue to accept children being killed en masse...
200 mass shootings ? Would love to know where you get your stats from and how they "mesure " mass shootings
@@MrLatarianMilton They are all listed on the gun violence archive you will find if you search for it and each case is listed with the location, state and stats of injured, dead etc. So really easy to fact-check and prove it's all fact!
British Gun laws are so stupidly written....its illegal to own a Pistol as they are a section 5 Firearm but a 120mm Smoothbore Tank gun firing shotshell can be owned on a Shotgun Certificate. Pretty sure I know which one is more dangerous and unstoppable
Americans will say the kids need to be armed when they go to school.
Dumb comment
18 year old allowed to buy two gun????? Lost for words
Absolutely terrible , my heart goes out to everyone involved 😭
Keep your heart inside ,what ? You believe that almost every School in America has been used for target practice ,do you? No it's gun grabs ,? And they use Zthe Children to melt the public's hearts ,it's not working , if America hands in its guns their done ? Because they cannot control a Country that is armed with guns ,think about it ,because Lord knows they've kept on mentioning gun control , well yeah , that's what this is all about control , they keep using theatre and crisis actors to convince us all ,their good ,but it ain't working it would appear ?fancy using the Children playing on heart strings ,
Yesterday I was grumbling to myself about a traffic delay here in Southwest England.
And then I heard about this latest senseless tragedy in the US, and that put everything in perspective.
Much as I love the US, and its citizens, I'l never quite understand the irrational relationship that country and its people have with guns. And it's unlikely to change. At least in any of our lifetimes. There are just too many Americans who've wedded themselves to an irrational belief system whereby their sense, not just or individual liberty, but as human beings, is centred on their pretty-much unrestricted right to military-grade semi-automatic firearms. Even the slightest measures to restrict their purchase, ownership, or even carrying in public is seen as a mortal threat.
This will never change. And if a few hundred innocent people have to die in Americans schools, or churches, or shopping malls every year - then that is a price American Conservatives are willing to have the rest of us pay for their lunacy.
You're right of course, but Americans might argue that they would at least have a fighting chance against a tyrannical government. In the UK, we've got no chance. Our government can do what they want, and we can't even protest anymore.
Yes that's the tradeoff they're willing to accept.
Those who assert their right to bear arms and reject changes to gun laws - it's not their children getting mowed down by a heavily armed guy wearing body armor. I doubt these people would change their minds even if it was their kid.
Whilst I agree with most of your comment. Why do you think this is on American conservatives…….because no left leaning person has ever committed a mass shooting!
@@SY-ok2dq They might if that were to happen, but the gun lobby is too powerful at the end of the day. The economy, and jobs are more important to those in charge than the lives of x amount of children per year.
You’ll never understand these people if you’ve already written their views off as irrational lunacy. End of the day, people who live in country together must be willing to listen and dialogue or else there’s no chance of progress at all, just a stalemate. We could do with being reminded of this in Britain too these days.
I blame wannabe gangsta celebrity hip hop rap culture

Please,Don’t be stupid my friend.
Love how they didn’t say he was a Hispanic far left transgender maniac.
It took 30 minutes before the cops to show and A border patrol agent finish the job as they showed up. How did he get access into the school and why did it take so long to get there. That is what need to be under scrutiny.
No how he was even allowed to buy a gun, right on his 18th birthday without any background checks needs to be scrutinised. There is a common denominator in all these school shootings, young mentally unstable people with assault rifles. Time to take the rifles out of their hands and make sure the rifles never reach their hands.
Really? That is the key issue you draw from this? Unbelievable!
@@simonj5615 some people are just insane
My poor children no words fly high dear angels
I'm glad I live in a civilised country
The answer: No. Done
How many innocent children have to die, before gun laws are changed?
Answer? Far too many.
Not sure they are willing to put a number on that!
Number of deaths by shooting in America in 2020 was 45,000.
Number of deaths by shooting in England/Wales in 2020 was 30.
Their 2nd amendment was originally intended to form militias in case they were attacked by Britain, France or Spain. Now America has the biggest military and nuclear arsenal in the world, it’s not possible for them to be attacked.
In 1940 Hitler mounted an invasion of England (Operation Sealion) but the public were still not armed. The military had it covered. Fortunately the RAF dealt with it so Hitler cancelled the invasion.
I think operation Barbarossa had something to do with that, still, if the Native Americans had not have armed themselves they would probably be extinct by now, The Japanese said that they feared an armed populace more than the Army in case of an Invasion by them, every dictatorship in the world disarmed their populations before genocides took place, The vast majority of homicide in the US is gang related with 'illegally' held guns. Take the big city shootings out of the equation and America is one of the safest civilian armed countries in the world, Its southern neighbour Mexico surpasses virtually every country in homicides by gun in the world and guns are illegal there. Shooters like Salvador choose places were they know no one will shoot back, Schools, gun free Zones and nearly all occur in Democrat controlled areas with the strictest gun control measures. Look at the people behind these shootings, they are all seriously disturbed in some way or ideologically driven like the san Bernardino killers (Islam) Fork hood (Islam) Timothy McVeigh (domestic Terrorism) who used a fertiliser bomb to kill 168 people including dozens of Children. Its not guns or access to them, its the sick minds of people.
the main reason for the second amendment is for citizens to be able to remove oppressive governments should they appear. If it was all about self defense don't you think there would only be handguns allowed?
they were intended for protection from tyrannical goverment. And thats why they must stay, if you think otherwise you are a fascist.
Hitler also disarmed the German population.
Are you saying 9/11 was an inside job then, if America "can't be attacked"? 🤔
Blame guns, not the people who pull the trigger… makes sense
Yeah even better start selling bigger gun as it helps good guys act in time with bigger gun or even rocket launcher.

The saddest thing is that I've seen SIX American presidents make a similar speech. I watched Obama cry during a speech about gun control. America sacrifices its children on an alter to a law that is two hundred years out of date. Because of their slavish adhereance to old ink it seems nothing can be done. Heartbreaking.
Remove the 2nd amendment and give a guess as to the only people who will keep their firearms? Clue: it's not the law abiding who make up the vast majority.

we need real solutions based in research, data, and science to the mass shooting issue NOW. I'm so tired of the almost daily shock and horror of these shootings and the policies pretending to be shocked, confused, etc. they know exactly what's happening and are actively choosing not to act with real reform.
Why do so many other developed nations not have America’s baleful gun culture? Germany, the UK, Japan, for example, don’t seem to have this terrible issue with gun crime, and yet there is relative peace in terms of general society, and certainly mass killings are rare. America needs to seriously look at its Second Amendment. There are only three countries that have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms: Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States. Although Mexico and Guatemala both have a constitutional right to bear arms, the US is in a league of its own simply because it is the only country without restrictions on gun ownership in its constitution. After the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791, it inspired other countries around the world to provide their citizens with the right to own guns. However, only 15 constitutions (in nine countries) ever included an explicit right to bear arms. They are Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Liberia, Guatemala, Mexico, and the US. All of those countries, excluding Mexico, the US, and Guatemala, have since rescinded the constitutional right to bear arms. So, America is the outlier here in terms of citizens’ rights to bear arms. Does it want to continue this, and put up with its horrible mass killings? Or does it want to consider repealing the Second Amendment, thereby allowing the average American citizen to breathe that much easier in the ‘land of the free’?
Any infringement on the Second Amendment by the Government would lead to more violence, bloodshed and eventual armed revolt across the country. Other countries don't have the ability to fight for their freedom (with guns) in the event a tyrannical force were to come to power, but America does. That is what the Second Amendment is for, and that is why it was so important to the founders. The lockdowns in Australia is a prime example of what can happen when a government wishes to impose their will on an unarmed public.
They are rare because World War Two turned Japan and Germany into largely pacifist states. The mass shooting phenomena in the USA started as the descent into political instability started. The severe uptick started happening about ten years ago, around the time the extreme polarization happened. Unfortunately, violence is now socially acceptable in the USA because one can find justification in current social movements. I’d much rather live here than in a European social democracy that has the government literally in control of peoples personal lives. You traded freedom for security. Period

I have a gun that sits in the cabinet. As far as I know it has never killed anyone.

There are also plenty of nuclear weapons around the world that have yet to kill anyone, so I guess there's no need to worry about who has access to them, right?

They need to tackle the problem at their root. Here in germany, we don't need to defend ourselves against criminals with weapons. Because there is barely one with a weapon. Of course there is some. But if there is a shooting, it is something REALLY extraordinary and everybody talks about it.
In america, they have shootings eeevery day. It's not even worth mentioning.
They lost over 40.000 people in shootings in a year. and these are not counting wounded. Just the dead.

@Jen Jones I'm not sure what you are referring to, but when e.g. the Islamic brotherhood targeted tourism in Egypt, I can promise you that the politicians did something about it.

how can they stop it ?its mental illness and its becoming an epidemic and no matter what gun control is brought in with bleeding borders and under counter guns there is no way it will stop it ,the modern generation think the games they play are real life and this is more of a problem

Americans are so tied up in fear of guns. The world frowns upon it. RIP poor children :(
The only people who would give up their guns are the law-abiding citizens.
Okay, lets accept your view on this, and lets listen to people like you on what we should do. Enjoy the mass shootings!
Condolences to the families, because people like you want "freedom"... that's freedom in quotation marks for a reason.
Even if that was the case, it would cut the number of accidental deaths in homes.
jmascisss It's previously law-abiding citizens that commit mass murders. Stats show that US households that keep guns are MORE likely to be the scene of a shooting.
I'm pretty sure every one is a law abiding citizen until they open fire on small children.
If you reduce the number of guns in supply, it will reduce the number of guns illegally in supply also, eventually.
Oh God I pray for the families in this community and the little angels I pray that the gun laws are changed please do what is necessary to save more children 🙏
This happened due to the school leaving a door unlocked. We have plenty of gun laws already and we won't tolerate anymore.
Emotions will cool down, and people will forget, and politicians continue as usual, all in a month.
I'm a native Texan, born and bred. I have owned guns. This behavior won't stop in Texas; people value 'freedom' to be nutcases more than their children or families. Won't change as long as the Republicans hold the power here.
They are chunky people in Texas aren't they, well they are in that town.

What makes you think democrats can change anything? Their introduced legislations so far aren't practical.
@@JP-uk8md Oh--like Social Security, Medicare, the FDIC, winning two World Wars? Like making the skies safe for us, launching our space program, doing most of our Interstate highways? Come back when you reach 14, kid.
If your schoolkids have to do 'active shooter' drills there's something seriously wrong.
I had that in the UK, and it's safe to say the UK doesn't really have guns.

As a Canadian, we don't have this problem. We regulate our guns, we didn't get rid of them, we regulated them. That's it, we all still have shotguns and semiautomatic rifles with hair triggers, but it's REGULATED. Owners of fire arms are expected to comply with all mental heath checks and physical inspections, they take away your gun if you: are clinically depressed, are dying, have a violent crime on record or have mental illness. So all you have to do is prove good mental health and healthy body and you can go around shooting all you want.
But that's the difference between our borders, Unregulated South, Regulated North, guess who has school shootings?
I'm not saying this to make you feel I'm saying this because you really need to understand your country is the wild west.
Canada ftw
@@MBGA123 America And Canada for the win. We need each other, and the American people are pretty great.

@Jen Jones Communism has no government... does spreading Red Terror propaganda make you feel powerful, or are you just programmed to vomit out what other just as unintelligent people have to say? It's like you think saying the same thing over and over again makes it true. Why would you want our leader to be a communist, it's fuckin' weird...
Justin is a Neo-liberal, he's on the opposite side of the spectrum from communism, he's right leaning with ties to Oligarchs, how is that remotely communist? Do you even understand Communist theory? Do you even understand what proletariats or aristocrats are? Do you even understand the distribution of the means of production? No, no you don't, and yet you think you know what a "Communist" is, and you think you know how to label people with it.
Stop spreading hate so you feel in control with lying, your better than that.
Devastating, absolutely heartbreaking, come on, how many more of these shootings are you as a country are going to go through? If there is no guns then you don’t need to protect yourself against it, us in the U.K. never have to go through, we do you?
In English please ?
@@wullysmith9202 She's basically saying guns should not be readily available to the general public. The problem in America is that it's normalised and the NRA has consolidated it's position with pay offs.
@@bg1616 firearms* aren't readily available to the general public, unless you're a criminal. You have mandatory waiting periods and background checks in every state.
Nothing wrong with firearms, and everything wrong with the mentally unstable.
@@JP-uk8md You say that but a bit research says otherwise. Availability is key. Any crazy kid can get his dad's weapon out of the cupboard. Any bad parent can buy their crazy kid a weapon. etc Stricter rules needed badly
@@bg1616 okay, and in places like the UK, any kid can break into his dad's locked cabinet as well. No, parents can't legally buy firearms for their child's possession... surpervised use is a different story. There's also a minimum age varying by state where a teenager is deemed competent enough to carry their own rifle while hunting. However, children cannot legally possess their own firearm.
What rules do you propose? The same ones that aren't helping cali, or new york? The same ones that arent helping UK, or Canada? Give your head a shake "mate".
In answer to the video title , 'NO '.
When are we going to start helping these kids so they don’t do this anymore?
The second amendment was written when the average gun could fire one bullet from and unrifled barrel a minute, maybe two if you were exceptionally well trained and drilled. At this time america was very secular, open to imigration, and had just fought for their freedom, and offered land and opportunity for everyone that was willing to grab it. There were no phones, no infrastructure and no organized police to uphold the law when you left the cities. Since then the US have changed a lot, but the admiration and deification of guns and gunownership is still on the same level.
When the second amendment was revised, they were producing and refining repeating firearms. You're incorrect.
@@JP-uk8md Still the average gun (which is what I pointed out) was a not rifled flint lock gun. I could not find a date for a revision, but the ratification of the 2nd was 1791. Rifling and Percussion caps became commen in the first quarter of the 19th century
Feel free to correct my information in case they are wrong.
@@EvilGrin
If want to get really technical the 2ND Amendment allows for civilians to own exactly what the U.S. Military has and uses. That hasn't been the case since 1934 with all hopes lost in May 1986. Every machine gun sold in the private market to civilians has to be made before that date. The process to acquire Class 3 weapons is lengthy sometimes taking up to 1 year. Your local Police Chief or Sheriff has to know about it and sign off on the forms. You also need to pay a Federal tax of $200 on each item PLUS the cost of the weapon and sales tax. These days fully transferable machine guns cost over $30,000.
Unfortunately it didn't take long for the heartless gun lovers to come in and defend their guns. Sad and pathetic.

Defending the Constitution....it's an oath not a bad blind date you excuse yourself to the bathroom and split.
It’s impossible to know what a person is thinking or what their intentions are. A background check is useful if the person has previous convictions for firearms offences but little else. If a person has mental health issues that doesn’t automatically mean their buying a gun for malicious intent either.
The fact that America has so many guns and are easy to get hold of means these weapons are used in crime.
more reason to ban them completely
Vote gun control to control the politicians who control the guns.
@@tomalebine2778 so you don't see the problem with only authorities and government entities having firearms? 😂
@@JP-uk8md No I dont because guess what, I live in No I dont because guess what, I live in the UK and we get along absolutely fine without them, they cause more harm than good, come check out a UK school, no mass shootings over here, can you say the same? Thank God im over here and dont have to deal with crazy republicans ruining everyones lives
@@JP-uk8md Funny, plenty of other countries manage ok.
So much for wanting independence from Great Britain. America, 'a good idea that got out of hand'!
Can't have a beer in US till your 21 but can buy a gun at 18. Nothing will ever change to much money involved. Just another day in America.
If ya know ya just know what’s really going on here....

What a very intelligent young lady. How come she speaks more sense than the gun lobiest. I really thank God that my grandchildren are being raised in GB. Who speaks for the dead children who never got the chance to grow. No one will ever know what they could have given to society. My prays go to these poor unfortunate families.
That's an entertaining thought, considering most firearm lobbiests speak from a realistic standpoint.
@@JP-uk8md exactly they didn’t become lobbyists cause they know nothin
I expect less gun control now that we all know that cops won't protect anyone.
They never had to from the beginning. They are also immune from legal repercussions and nothing will happen to them. It should be a slap in the face to all these woke Libatard nutcases spouting ban guns!
I was in Canada and some loud sound went and I spoke gun then a Canadian told me its not gun it is not America.
It was a accident
SCHOOL DOORS SHOULD BE LOCKED‼️at all times when schooling is in session. This is horrible 😢
Or you could just ban guns? All sorts of issues with locking doors.
@@simonj5615 No there's not, what are you talking about? Locked from outside, but can be opened from inside. My school had that and never had to worry about anyone random coming in thru any door except main entrance... where two armed officers are there guarding. No issues at all
@@ldope3904 why does it have to be random person? It could be a student going to class, with something in the backpack. How does a closed door help? He is already in. Maybe the police will have some trouble getting in...
@@adrianenache6794 The metal detectors at the front entrance... lol. But go ahead, go and question the protective tools that are peace officers use but not the evil intentions of the acts committed by the person. Jesus, you people are so fucking dense to appear morally superior and appease your ego.
“Oh no the door is locked”
Shoots lock with gun…..
This could have been prevented if only they had allowed 9 year old children to carry guns for protection.
Of course not
America will never change.Congress is still to committed to following a distorted version of the 2nd amendment. Tragic. 😢
My heart goes out to everyone involved. Do what we did in the U.K. following the Dunblane School massacre in 1996 - ban all private gun ownership. It works really well as U.K. evidence shows.
Nope it just stopped one type of thing which was replaced by another type of thing. All you did was destroy an industry for nothing. The problem isn't the object it never was, the people pushing this control nonsense know this, they just want you dependant on them for protection.
Haven't you read some of the comments? It could be thousands of kids getting shot every month of the year, and these types of gun rights supporters would still resist any changes to gun laws.
And so there is nothing for it but that all Americans will have to accept thesw shootings and deaths.
Their minds will never be swayed.
I fully agree with the concept of what you’re saying, but that idea is beyond reality in modern America, a country as vast as it is that actually has more guns than people, it’s simply not possible to achieve. Very sad to say they reap what they sow
Yer we just stab each other
Gun control always leads to dictatorship just like the Philippines
Channel 4 is wrong. He was armed with a: "semi-automatic rifle," not an: "automatic rifle."
Sounds more scary to the people who know sod all about firearms.
Semantics, he still gunned down young children.
@@welditmick Thank god we know sod all about firearms. We don't have a need for that sort of knowledge.
... Which makes absolutely no difference to anything that matters. They can both kill large numbers of people in a very short amount of time and no one in America should have either of them.
Well done for really highlighting the salient point of this tragedy. LOL!
Yeah thank god I live in the UK. Britain is far from being perfect what with knife crime increasing each year especially in London but atleast I never had to fear coming to school each day. “Will tighter gun control follow?” NO. If they didn’t learn anything from the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting back in 2012, what are the chances they will make any changes now?
And what will restrictive legislation solve?
$20 U.S. says YOU can't pass a FBI NICS check. BEFORE you mouth off about stuff at least know what you are talking about.
Yes, now you just have to get rid of your clown peppa pig fan primate minister and rejoin the EU and your country will be just perfect.
Seems like i need to open a company for schools security only. Put a undercover cop in each school already.
This is what happens when every yahoo can carry a gun, it's not that hard to buy a weapon stricter gun control is necessary. I feel sorry for the parents and the children seriously as a parent my self i don't know what i would do if i lost my child. Should kids start to wear bodyarmor to school now?
Agreed, you’d think by now that they’d have started to increase gun control over there. I swear this is like the 5th shooting this month alone smh
Stricter gun controls? Only problem is that criminals have a tendency to disobey "strict controls" lol... strict control of deadly drugs such as methamphetamine and heroin haven't done much in the way of slowing down the rising tide of drug addiction sweeping across America.
@@jimfixer9589 Well when the shooter starts shooting heroin in to the kid than lets talk about that. Since it was the bullets that entered the kids bodies lets talk about the weapons and why every yahoo needs to have one. US has created this problem and i am sure if there is a will there is a way out of this mess as well. No amount of damn praying is gonna help this situation.
@@jimfixer9589 there’s a difference between keeping illegal drugs from being sold and used and children being gunned down in their classrooms
Another person talking about something they know nothing about. You're clearly not an american, and know nothing of their laws. You're utterly clueless yet so incompetently willing to argue. 😂
Makes you glad you live in a civilised country
You spelled tyrannical country wrong.
americans be like everyone can own a gun but suddenly no one is armed when a massacre occures
Nothing will change, not rich people are involve in any mass murders. 😔
